About this book
A Short System of English Grammar, by Henry Bate, is for the use of the Boarding School in Worcester. The preface says the Grammar is to be fashioned from the particular Language it treats of, and not the Language from the Grammar. The preface says the Latin has only eight Parts of Speech and that the Writers of English Grammar have unthinkingly adopted the same Number.
The text says that for the Sake of making every Thing as easy as can be to the Learner, the author distinguishes such Pronouns into Prefix and Subsequent and entirely lays aside Cases as useless and unnecessary. The text says Grammar is the Science of Letters or Language and the Art of Speaking and Writing properly, and that its Divisions are four: Orthography, Analogy, Prosody and Syntax. The text describes the Comma as the last and least Pause or Time that is made use of.
